Saighead

Saighead is Scottish Gaelic for arrow, and the Scottish highland landscape inspired these mittens, whose colours make me think of big skies, clear water, and rough mountains. Choose two of your favourite shades of Milarrochy Tweed and knit a pair of mittens inspired by a landscape that you love.
